| 13 | Description: Yet Another Ident Daemon: with NAT traversal and policy controls |
| 14 | The world doesn't need or want another ident server. But it did want one |
| 15 | with the right combination of features, so here it is. |
| 16 | . |
| 17 | YAID handles NAT usefully. On a NAT gateway, it will forward requests to |
| 18 | client hosts as necessary. On a client host, it will respond to forwarded |
| 19 | requests. |
| 20 | . |
| 21 | YAID has policy controls. A global file can decide how to reply to |
| 22 | particular kinds of query based on source and destination addresses and port |
| 23 | numbers, or on the user identified. It can delegate the decision to the |
| 24 | user in question, in a controlled way. It can anonymize the response in |
| 25 | various ways, keeping track of the real answer in its log. |
